#no harm in hypotheticals

[whorejolras]

i'm saying it. i don't think joly would work in a hospital. i think his medical career would be informed by his politics + radicalisation and his + his friends regular drug use, he would be outraged at how the medical industry handles drug users, also at the medical industrial complex in general, so he would find a reputable community led harm reduction organisation to work for 🫶🏻

#joly #it also works because the idea that modern les amis wouldn't all have a million jobs and volunteer roles in community organising #and you know... do direct community action to support people... instead of just little hypothetical meetings where they debate hypothetical #problems.... #that idea is so bullshit and i know it's written by people who only have indoor people problems and don't realise most radicals actually do #things... but still it annoys me #and he would hate working in a hospital #not that the harm reduction work wouldn't be stressful and high intensity too but he would rather it for the love of community #also it wouldn't be hard because as a disabled person he would already be radicalised against doctors and medical industry in general #les amis #les mis #mine #i realise as a disabled drug using cane user i could #write joly really really well #the best joly scene is in world ain't ready where in one scene he's so excited for the battle of the bands dancing around yelling and stuff #then they pick him up and he's like 'tonight is a sitting night' URGH that's so real it almost made me cry #anyway joly feelings good morning

Hey y'all! Weird question time again So I have kind of a lot of emergency/as needed medications that I have to have with me in my purse whenever I leave the house, and a few more that I have to take with meals, so if I'm going to leave the house for longer than a quick errand I need those too. The problem: I have two nieces that live nearby-ish, one of which is an absolute bundle of chaos of a toddler*, and the kidlet I babysat is going to visit next year. He's nine. If I spend time with any of those kids, how do I childproof my purse full of medications without making it difficult to access emergency medications I could need at very short notice while potentially pretty significantly impaired, like my rescue inhaler? *her parents babyproofed some doors with those latches high up on the door and she figured out how to take a broom and unlatch them

#the person behind the yarn #medical mention #medication mention #harm to children mention #not like specific actual harm it's hypothetical harm I am trying to stop from being an issue #but I know that can be a big issue for people so I tried to tag for it #but like some of the meds I am on can be REALLY BAD if overdosed even a little #one of my meds was used as the murder weapon on a tv show! #and that's the one I (a fully grown not-that-small adult) take 0.05 mg of daily #my nieces are not fully grown and even 0.05mg is probably a dangerous amount for them #but I have to have that pill with me when I leave the house because sometimes I need an extra dose #and if I need an extra dose and don't take it I can get very sick very fast #the benadryl I am less concerned about because A. it's a children's dose and B. it tastes terrible #but I reaaaaally don't want to risk making them sick but also. I HAVE to have those medications with me when I leave the house #and I HAVE to have most of them very easily accessible #because it is difficult to think or do some fine motor skills (like undoing child locks) when wheezing really badly

'it's genocidal to call for an end of Israel where do you want us to go' stay where you are or don't, who gives a shit. you just can't be the only group represented in political authority. you just don't have the right to perform genocide or land capture. you just can't be the boot stamping on everyone else's necks. 🤷‍♀️

the state is not the people. if you don't want to leave Palestine live in Palestine. but Israel does not have a right to exist and you do not have a right to stand above others by the circumstances of your birth. you do not have a right to continue to profit from an ongoing genocide. you do not have a right to supremacy. you do not have a right to gain your comfort at the direct cost of thousands of lives next door. you do not have a right to be colonial overlords. you do not have a right to an ethnostate or a theocracy. you do not have the right to continue to sell on and pass on and profit from land and resources legally gatekept from everyone outside your specific group. you do not have a right to use immigration law to prevent people from returning to their homes while continuing to artificially cultivate a Jewish majority. you do not have a right to displace people to get what you want. you do not have a right to ownership. you have a right to live in safety but you don't have a right to pay in other people's lives for that. and you don't have a right to rule. and Israel does not have a right to exist.

Jews were in Palestine before 1914 and Jews will be in Palestine after Palestine is freed. but as equal citizens not as colonial overlords.

#red said #is it simple to examine stuff like the reappropriation of land and wealth given that we're 75 years out from the nakba? #no it's very not simple #is it simple to identify a difference between 'these people should not be the only group represented in government and law' #and 'these people should die or be driven into the wilderness'? YEAH IT IS DUDE. YOU ARE NOT THE STATE OF ISRAEL. #you are not your unearned power over others #fuck you for putting a hypothetical genocide of the people YOU think matter over a CURRENTLY HAPPENING genocide of CURRENTLY DYING people #trauma is trauma but how much imaginary devastation is worth a single actually real life let alone tens of thousands #how many Palestinian lives is it worth to you to allay your fears of harm potentially coming to your people? #30 000? 300 000? 3 000 000? for a hypothetical Israeli to avoid hypothetical retributive violence or hypothetical displacement? #you're a morally bankrupt piece of shit putting imaginary future harm up against the actual murders of the equivalent pop of whole cities #and you can wish for the end of Israel without wishing for the deaths or displacements of Jews. #thinking they're the same thing is at best confusing life with power

Sorry for the passive aggressiveness vaguepost but like you don't have to both sides a conflict where one side is clearly doing much worse stuff than the other.

Lik I'm tired of people putting zionist content on my TL masquerading as anti antisemitic posts; usually right after someone rebogs something about Palestine. Caring about Palestinians doesn't make you antisemitic you don't have to compensate ESPECIALLY not by giving attention to dipshits that see other Jewish folks as race traitors if they dare be against ethnic cleansing.

#If a Jewish person assumes you're antisemitic on the basis you're strongly against genociding Arabs that's a them problem #You are not obligated the placate the feelings of someone that's far too concerned with hypothetical bigotries #over the very objective material harm that's happening right now to some people that absolutely needs unwavering attention/condemnation.

Nah because imagine going this insane over your child. Screaming and collapsed in the hallway while she... cries and bites at her wrist? Draws her own blood? Self harms? Couldn’t be me. I’m the childless aunt visiting the household for the week, seeing how my dumbass sister treats and ignores her child and being like “damn my sister is a dumbass I gotta take care of this child” and yknow I told myself I wouldn’t make an exception about a child-free life but now I think the exception is this cute little girl who just wants to suck blood and is scared of her fucking parents and was put into quirk counseling just so she could be “normal”?? Pathetic behaviour from them actually. I’ll let my child suck blood from whoever she wants. Better yet, I’ll give her the support she needs in order to not suck blood from people without their permission and teach her to embrace how she loves others and maybe we can look into career options where her quirk could really help but only if my little girl wants to and anybody who has something to say about it can fight me in the front yard except if they came over to compliment and accept her in which case I will offer them a bite to eat and a drink inside

If my child had the irresistible urge to suck blood, I would simply support her and teach her how to handle those urges in healthy ways instead of abusing and telling her to suppress who she is. Rip Toga’s dumbass parents but I’m different

#i'm taking toga and i'm LEAVING #the parents don't have to deal with toga and i will take care of her and give her what she deserves. its a win win situation #yes i put myself in the family and i'm disgusted to be hypothetically related to these people but yknow what we all have to make sacrifices #bnha #bnha 392 #bnha manga spoilers #bnha spoilers #toga himiko #mettys posts #metty posts #tw self harm #tw self harm mention #tw abuse mention #tw abuse

Having a child is gojo’s greatest fear for much of his life. But then you show up. You fix that! He’s not scared of just bringing a baby into the world anymore!

Because suddenly the hypothetical woman he might impregnate is you, and that terrifies him more than anything else in the world.

#it’s horrifying to him #bringing a kid into this world w the pressures he grew up with #but then……. well. he loves you. more than those hypothetical children—you’re real. you’re his. #he would do anything to guard you from harm. if he was the cause of it he would never forgive himself #pattering on the roof #me and my list of fictional men who fundamentally view impregnation as violence ♥️ #feminist kings in the truest sense #no children #char.🌧 gojo #VIC IF U SEE THIS SEND ME AN ASK AND ILL ELABORATE THANK U

On hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have made that suicide joke in front of my GP.

#suicide #in my defense Tumblr has completely warped my sense of what is the normal amount of will to live #I just was trying to tell him I'm fine and in no danger of harming myself #keep forgetting apparently normal people don't think with relief about the hypothetical scenario of being hit by a bus #anyways psychiatrist here I go! #In March because that was the earliest appointment I could get #I have been visiting so many doctors lately #I'm gonna get a good grade in patient something that is both good to want and possible to achieve #Apparently my thyroid is working fine and I don't have anaemia yay! #EKG came out well too #Gut... we'll see #not as hopeful but who knows

Happy Birthday, Do No Harm!

Honestly the idea of slugcats existing in a sort of space where they are capable of 'moral' thought but not having a full structural concept of it in like, slugcat culture is kinda an interesting thought. Like they have sympathy as a personality value that governs a willingness to do harm, particular in terms of slugpups being unwilling to eat live food like centipedes if it has high enough values, if i recall right.

Which does seem to at least a basis for slugcats having an internal capacity (or lack of) for violence, and at least some understanding of what the 'weight' of choosing to harm something is- enough to potentially have a discomfort with it just by their personal nature. The idea of experiencing guilt for a natural, accepted and expected behavior without otherwise having a full understanding of what guilt is even is interesting.

#like do little slugpups grow out of that and adjust outta necessity or are their like. Slugcat families that grow up still avoidant of those #food sources because they don't like killing? #would that not be a 'moral' choice? Since its a choice made from ones discomfort with a potential action? #but like #not one other slugcats even consider as a thing #Like i guess at minimum slugcats have an understanding of things that harm other creatures enough that they might make an active choice to #avoid doing such. Although I will state I don't think that inherently makes the choice to harm an immoral one for this hypothetical animal. #Especially since in this brainstorm other slugcats don't consider anything about this at all. And a horde of slugpups can consume a pile of #centipedes in seconds so they have no hang ups at all sometimes #this isnt bioposting this is something else. something sinister #whatever #rw bioposting

arrrghhh and having a moment just now b/c earlier i was rewatching this clip and appreciating how ofc not only is it a stellar little expression saga of jeremy's there but it's so Relevant to how we're being shown like [yeah clearly this is a bad idea but we are led to understand why he'd do it anyways] when like yeah jeremy's hurt & miserable as this new computer enemy immediately beating him up insulting him like you're the worst die Admit You're The Worst & Die. but also like jeremy was already There & already getting that message from others / life, which is why he's in this situation already, and why even though this obvious antagonism & hurtful treatment Does dig that hole a little deeper it's like, still more of the same from jeremy's perspective / a supposed further confirmation of what he was already sufficiently believing was true anyways. but what's so different & new to him is this like invented & temporary Vision Of How Things Could Be where suddenly he's getting attention that is so positive & everyone is sooo hyped about him we love everything about you....and That's what's so much more motivating to jeremy than the previous shit that he of course experienced as Unpleasant

and then just now was looking at this gifset again with christine being surprised by how as she's increasingly exiting the defensive mode of trying to stay out of the way / rein herself in, jeremy's just interested and encouraging and giving Thee clearest most positive feedback as earnestly and spontaneously as she's being rn....the way that she's having a parallel experience to jeremy's Mall Visions Of Possibility like here's this random person suddenly who is responding so positively to whatever tends to be reacted to negatively as [weird/wrong/overmuch]....their earnest spontaneous little parallel threads that keep weaving together throughout the story like. christine and this ever surprising new person who first crops up super nervous but then really openly enthused about Her enthusiasm; freaking out at a mall food court; doing great at play rehearsal even though he's new to this; then a whole moment where at first he's maybe being confusingly standoffish compared to that enthusiasm at their first meeting but then the whole [i guess a part of me xyz] section of a guy that i'd kinda be into like waaaaauugh oh lord and now i'm thinking of the agtikbi reprise like i am sweeping the bmc obcr up into my arms for so many reasons & including that track is a hell of one....being presumably a bit further bemused by jeremy's whole deal but during this period where christine's presumably a bit preoccupied w/the play and with trying to try new things and dating jake, there goes jeremy suddenly dating brooke apparently & eventually evidently christine is like okay i guess he's in this popular kids group more cohesively than i am & [whatever interpretations in how christine thinks that jeremy is also hooking up far & wide w/ppl in that group lol] but here he is also feeling in over his head & overwhelmed & out of place after trying to play the part & Act Correctly & indeed managing to end up here & yet....And Yet they can have another earnest vulnerable spontenaous enthused encouraging moment on the couch, despite that then of course christine's like okay look in general What is going on around here, and that's even before anyone's burned down a house & so forth, all before we he she they get Proof of what jeremy wants & feels & chooses, and have that reunion finally with finale jeremy where it's like, yeah he's got more confidence in Himself, ofc he still likes her and her as herself, and he's still nervous but okay with that, she's more comfortable likewise being out of her comfort zone lol not trying to maximally stay either in the one arena she can be herself Or otherwise out of everyone's way, ugh their vimh moment like that willingness to be vulnerable with this person b/c as in any interactions you're not guaranteed "safe" but the stakes of that and effort of navigating are made lower by having this trust and understanding and knowing this person genuinely cares....the fact that they can misunderstand each other And That's Fine because they can and do just go "no, i mean xyz" which in turn isn't to chastise but an earnest effort to connect & let this other person understand & know you better & believing that They want to exert the effort to Try To Get It, to Genuinely Care....waah

tl;dr that the way jeremy is (theoretically) looked at in the mall while simply existing when everything is going to be wonderful and so alive & is so moved by is the way christine experiences jeremy looking at her For Real when they're first properly meeting in the i love play rehearsal scene, and furthermore: ;ww;

#bmc #btw everything antithetical to that concept like [in this dynamic at its resolution in the end we see them misunderstand & get it Wrong #but then it's showing us that that's okay and it's Good navigating that rather than everything shown abt the harms of what it would take #to hypothetically paper over that or eliminate it entirely; namely the doomed destructive mission to keep tamping down on ppl being ppl] #has been found dead in miami. get ''we know our relationship's so good b/c of how we don't have 2 interact ft. Effort from us'' outta here #can extend the parallel where like obviously michael & jeremy have a mutual enthusiasm / effort in their relationship; less Novel ofc #hardly a negative lol & then that of course there's the entire period of Separation so there's hype for Glimpses b/w them over that lol #how what gym girl you look grim pensive emoji

[greenglowinspooks]

deranged thought I had while writing, so I wanna trade for one of yours :)

Say someone has a type of postmortem regeneration. Every time they die, they come back to life in a brand new, non-injured body, leaving the old one behind.

If they ate their own dead body would it be cannibalism or autocannibalism? Because yes, it’s their body, but it’s a different body than the one they currently have, so…?

Ooh, that’s fun! I like that a lot :3

—

One of my favorite themes in writing is Dying And Coming Back Wrong. It’s fun as a trope, and I really like to explore it as a metaphor for trauma changing a person.

It’s also fun as a kind of anti-ship-of-theseus hypothetical. If someone comes back with the same body but is completely different in every non-physical way, are they still technically the same person? What defines a person: their body, their behaviors, or their memories? Can you really say that someone who acts completely different from the person you once knew is the same person, just because of a shared name and memories? If they come back without any memories at all and a completely different personality, does that change things? Is the original person “gone,” or are they just changed?

It’s also a fun thing to consider for people having their minds transferred into new bodies. If you define a life as a continuous consciousness, then the original person is “dead,” and the consciousness inside the new body is just a copy. If you define a life as a collection of memories and behaviors, then the person is still alive, and there is no difference between the “original” and the new body. Is a human life restricted to the brain, or is there a “soul” that travels alongside the mind? If there isn’t, does it really matter?

#spook speaks #askbox #confessionals #I reeeeeally like philosophical questions in writing teehee #personally I think my answer to your hypothetical is that it’s both #but leans more closely towards normal cannibalism #since autocannibalism implies a certain amount of self harm #while this is a separate body #my answer to my first hypothetical is also both #they’re not really the same person #but you also can’t really say that you’re the same person as the one you were when you were a child #the self is constantly changing #it’s just that certain things may change a person into someone new much quicker than they usually would #I don’t have an answer for my second hypothetical

A couple things re: this Maarva drama. Because apparently, it bears repeating again.

There have been numerous posts calling out Tony Gilroy for writing this storyline. No one's excusing him, believe me. In fact, I blame him the most obviously, since he's the real person who made the choice to write this. But we're also allowed to criticize Maarva in the context of the show's reality. The fact that she's a woman being written by a man doesn't absolve her if we're looking at it from an in-universe perspective. Every single character is just being written by someone. None of them are real. We can and often do still discuss their actions as if they're real though because we're looking at it from an in-universe perspective, this is not uncommon in any fandom. And in-universe, Maarva still kidnapped Cassian and treated him like shit.

Syril's mom is abusive too, yes. But everyone recognizes that. The difference is that she's written to be an antagonist, and Maarva's written to be a hero. That's why we're talking about her, and not Eedy. Because everyone knows Eedy sucks, but Maarva gets put on a pedestal both by the show and the fans time and time again. (Case in point.) And there's a large gap between emotional abuse and coddling. We didn't want Cassian to be coddled, we wanted him to be loved and supported, and not constantly berated and criticized and belittled and talked to like an object. Are we really the bad guys for wanting a good parent for Cassian? Doesn't he deserve that?

And for the last time, criticizing a female character for the shitty things they did is not misogyny. It's not about "hating women," it's about hating Maarva specifically. For very specific reasons. Like drugging and kidnapping a frightened child and separating him from his sister and his homeworld and everything and everyone he ever knew. If you don't think that's a legit reason to hate someone, regardless of their gender, then there's not much else to talk about here because it tells me everything I need to know. The thing is that being a woman doesn't mean you're a saint, idk if you know this but some women suck! In fiction and in real life too. It's genuinely insulting to imply that we hate her because of misogyny because it couldn't be further from the truth, especially when we provided multiple explanations time and time again of why we actually hate her.

And yes, Clem was absolutely guilty too. I even agree that some people are too forgiving on him. But that doesn't excuse Maarva from responsibility. "Actually Clem and Eedy suck too" is not a legit argument to defend this woman. Great, they all suck. Now what? Does that make Maarva's actions better? No, it doesn't.

#so apparently i did want to bother with it #but i promise i'll stop being salty today this was the last one #imagine going so hard for the white savior kidnapper #but sure we're the problem #not the ones defending her actions #and refusing to hear how harmful this storyline was #im not even gonna touch on the idea of being violent towards a fictional character because lol #it's a silly little tumblr poll and she's NOT REAL #so what if i want dedra to whoop her ass in a HYPOTHETICAL fight between two FICTIONAL characters #it's not that serious go outside #fandom negativity #anti maarva andor #shut up sissi
